Great thread! Before I make my point I would like to point out that I work almost always qrp using my KX1. One of my Christmas presents this year was a NOSS CW Tuning Indicator (SMD). I built and installed it today and it works fine! FWIW. I occasionaly tune into a 17 meter SSB WAS net using 100 watts into a rotatable trapped dipole. Before I got my linear I could hardly make any contacts, most of the stations checking in were on the east coast! After I got my linear I not only could make contact with ANYONE who checked in but was asked to act as a relay station for stations having trouble! Power helps! More power helps more! I still use only qrp for rc and day to day radio fun but when I spot DX I need I crank up the linear (after checking propagation) and give it a shot. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
